Berney “Classic” Show Saddle

Description

Saddle Description 

Saddle Cut – 

The Berney Classic Show Saddle is designed with a straight-cut flap to enhance the visual definition of the horse or pony’s shoulder in the show ring. A discreetly contoured knee roll is integrated below the flap to provide subtle support, promoting rider stability and correct leg alignment without restricting movement or altering the traditional show profile.

Leather Type- 

Designed with our most premium French calfskin, the leather is integrated into the seat, skirts. This allows the rider more grip that intensifies with use and gives that ridden in feeling from day one.

Saddle Tree – 

As with all of Berney’s saddles, this saddle is made with a laminated beech wood spring tree that is strength tested to the British Safety Standard. By using a spring tree we are able to achieve added shock absorbency while keeping the saddle lightweight. We designed the tree with a higher gullet plate and cut back head to accommodate blood horses with more prominent withers.

Orthopaedic Memory Foam Seat- 

Berney Bros are able to provide the most comfort to the horse and rider by using a combination of orthopaedic memory foam, a spring tree, and wool flocked panels. The orthopaedic memory foam is embedded into the seat of the saddle and retains its spring and shock absorbency over time providing a really comfortable seat for the rider and aiding the horse by absorbing the impact of the rider’s movement.

Wool Flocking –

The third component we use to achieve the ultimate comfort and welfare for the horse is our fully leather lined panels flocked with pure new wool. The biggest advantage that this material provides against others is that it spreads the weight of impact over a bigger surface area allowing the horse full use of themselves. Pure new wool also retains its spring and shock absorbency over time and moulds to the shape of the horse’s back compensating for horses changing shape throughout the season.

Plain Flap –

Plain Flap for Durability.

Girth Straps- 

This saddle is fitted with three buffalo hide girth straps that are attached to two separate cross over webs that are strong and durable.

The Fit for horse and rider- 

This saddle is available in sizes 17” and 18” for the rider.  The fit refers to the shape and prominence of the horse’s withers. We find that a medium fit is perfect for the majority of horses. However if your horse has a very high wither, most commonly found with more blood horses then a narrow fit may be better and if your horse has a relatively low wither then a wide fit would be better.
